Through the Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program, we are currently accepting applications from mentor artist and apprenticeship pairs who are practicing traditional artforms. Approved mentor artists will receive $3,000 to support the passing down of skills, techniques, and cultural knowledge to a qualified apprentice.
